'Get Inspired' is a series of shoe design collaborations with the intention to inspire our community to unlock different creative practices and apply them to shoes. @candicegray_textiles is a UK Based Printed Textile Designer. I’ve been following Candice for a while and just really love how her florals make me feel (calm and happy)! So when she agreed to do this collab with us by painting her florals onto a pair of shoes I was thrilled! I just love the idea of taking her process which is meant for textiles and applying them to shoes.. I knew they would be beautiful but the finished shoes totally exceeded my expectations :) Candice worked with us to create a simple shoe shape and decided to paint the uppers and the heels with a green and yellow border which finished them off so beautifully. She painted on canvas with gouache and made sure to add a few layers of fixative, then we transformed them into a pair of shoes! Fun, right! Throughout the past decade of teaching shoemaking we’ve experimented a lot with using different materials but when it comes to incorporating different crafts this is a relatively new thing for us. I am so blown away with how this pair turned out and am so so so exci
